The Interactive Mapping plugin creates two new menus in the admin sidebar which will allow you to: 
* Add a map using co-ordinates from Open Street Map 
* Set a zoom level 
* Create a marker 
* Add the marker to any or all maps created 
* Uses short codes so maps can be added to any page or post 
* Uses category slug so you can create a map of a town say Lostwithiel and then create a category called Lostwithiel and only add markers using that category
In order to feature a marker on a certain map we have created a shortcode. There are instances where the marker might not show because of a wrong ID or category slug.
